This is all made possible by the powerful, low-code applications and services provided in the Power Platform suite.

This book explains the capabilities of each component of Power Platform, and shows how to set up the environment to get the most from the available applications. Here is a quick rundown of the Power Platform applications covered in this book, and a brief description of what each application does:
